Java User Input

Java User Input

To get user input in Java, you can use the Scanner class, which is available in the java.util package. Here's a simple example of how you can use it to read user input from the console:

        import java.util.Scanner;

public class UserInputExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a Scanner object
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        
        // Prompt the user to enter their name
        System.out.print("Enter your name: ");
        
        // Read the input provided by the user
        String name = scanner.nextLine();
        
        // Display a greeting message
        System.out.println("Hello, " + name + "!");
        
        // Close the Scanner to release resources
        scanner.close();
    }
}
      

In this example, scanner.nextLine() is used to read a line of text input from the user. You can use other methods like nextInt(), nextDouble(), etc., to read different types of input.
